$$^{60}$$Fe and $$^{244}$$Pu deposited on Earth constrain the r-process yields of recent nearby supernovae

Half of the chemical elements heavier than iron are produced by the rapid neutron capture process (r-process). The sites and yields of this process are disputed, with candidates including some types of supernovae (SNe) and mergers of neutron stars. We search for two isotopic signatures in a sample of Pacific Ocean crust-iron-60 ($$^{60}$$Fe) (half-life, 2.6 million years), which is predominantly produced in massive stars and ejected in supernova explosions, and $$^{244}$$Pu (half-life, 80.6 million years), which is produced solely in r-process events. We detect two distinct influxes of $$^{60}$$Fe to Earth in the last 10 million years and accompanying lower quantities of $$^{244}$$Pu. The $$^{244}$$Pu/$$^{60}$$Fe influx ratios are similar for both events. The $$^{244}$$Pu influx is lower than expected if SNe dominate r-process nucleosynthesis, which implies some contribution from other sources.

The ENDF/B-VII.1 library is our latest recommended evaluated nuclear data file for use in nuclear science and technology applications, and incorporates advances made in the five years since the release of ENDF/B-VII.0. These advances focus on neutron cross sections, covariances, fission product yields and decay data, and represent work by the US Cross Section Evaluation Working Group (CSEWG) in nuclear data evaluation that utilizes developments in nuclear theory, modeling, simulation, and experiment. It features extension of covered nuclei, covariance data for 190 nuclei, R-matrix analyses of neutron reactions on light nuclei, updates for some medium-heavy and actinoid nuclei, etc. Criticality benchmark tests with a transport simulation code MCNP shows improved performances.
